Why Word Problems Are Hard For High School Math Students: Problem Formulation And Disciplinary Literacy, Emily Charlotte Elliott

Senior Theses

This thesis is an extensive literature review designed to better understand the obstacles high school math students encounter when solving word problems (WPs). While many high school students find math difficult in general, students especially struggle with WPs. Often they are unable to provide correct solutions to WPs even when they are successful in solving computational problems using the same mathematical concepts (Cummins, 1988). Data from the 2007 National Survey of Algebra Teachers suggests that solving WPs is one of the skills that students are most unprepared for when entering Algebra 1 (Hoffer et al.). Additionally, many students try to …

Exploring The Phenomenon Of College Students Who Are Experiencing Homelessness And Their Persistence To Graduation, Voniesha Samuels

Theses & Dissertations

Homelessness among college students is becoming more prevalent in the United States. These students face many challenges trying to navigate and persevere through college; however, the stories of their college experiences have rarely been told. In this study, a hermeneutic, phenomenological design was used to explore the lived experience of college students who are experience homelessness. The analysis of five students who are experiencing homelessness brings awareness to a problem that too often goes undetected and unsupported in college. The results of this study showed that the lived experiences of college students who are homeless were shaped by financial insecurity …

Understanding The Lived Experiences Of Tenured, Non-Native Spanish Speaker-Teachers: A Phenomenological Investigation Of The Native Speaker Fallacy, Orsola Giovanna Dutra

Theses & Dissertations

There is limited research surrounding non-native speaker-teachers of world languages and the disruption known as the native speaker fallacy (Phillipson, 1992), which is the belief that only native speakers can be the most suitable teachers of a given language. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of tenured, non-native Spanish-speaking teachers who work across different public high schools on Long Island about their perceptions and experiences of the native speaker fallacy phenomenon. Six in-depth interviews were recorded and coded through the lens of self-efficacy and positioning theories to examine their experiences. The participants showed a strong belief in their teaching …

Confronting New Realities: Factors Impacting Adoption And Success Of Online Marketing Education In The Caribbean, Neleen S. Leslie-Piper, Celia Mckoy, Petula Senior

AMTP Proceedings 2023

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 was a watershed event in higher education as institutions at all levels were affected. Schools, colleges, and universities were forced to transition to remote or online instruction with varying levels of preparation. While most colleges and universities in the developed world were taken by surprise, they were not completely unprepared, as most institutions already had the infrastructure to facilitate online learning. In fact, some institutions were already offering online or hybrid courses of study. The developing world, and the Caribbean in particular, faced a different challenge. While institutions utilized learning management systems to deliver face-to-face classes, the facilitation …

Does Being Known Matter? Analyzing The Effects Of Name Recognition By Instructor And Student, Brandon Bosch

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Trying to learn the names of students is a challenging semester ritual for many professors and graduate students. In support of this endeavor, research suggests that learning students’ names promotes greater student participation and engagement (Auster and MacRone 1994; Pearson and Lucas 2011). However, both research and practical pedagogical advice has typically focused only on the importance of students believing that instructors know their names. Consequently, we know little about students feeling recognized by name by other students. To further explore this issue, this study analyzes both the predictors and outcomes of student name recognition. The results of the study …

Teacher’View About Dual Enrolment Of Student With Disabilities In Special And Inclusive Private School, Mahra Saeed Ismaeil

Theses

The education of children with disabilities is challenging. Special and inclusive schools cannot offer meaningful access to education to children with disabilities. Currently, schools strive to provide access to education in a dual context: a certain number of days at inclusive schools and others at special schools. However, information on how teachers are contending with such practices is limited. This study explored teachers’ views on the education of students with disabilities in the dual enrolment education system in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The social education model was conceptualised to understand teachers’ perceptions, collaborative efforts, resources and challenges to dual …

"From 'I Will' To 'I Can:' The Political And Pedagogical Playfulness Of Tyson E. Lewis" In T.E. Lewis, Educational Potentialities: Collected Talks On Revolutionary Education, Aesthetics, And Organization, Derek R. Ford

Education Studies Faculty publications

Having the chance to introduce the thinking (and talking) of Tyson E. Lewis to a new audience of revolutionary activists and organizers is exciting and intimidating. It’s exciting because this collection of talks, which cover much of his ex- tensive research interests and span more than a decade, is filled with raw materials out of which communists can produce politically timely and incisive educational practices, theories, and experiments. It’s intimidating for the same reasons. Instead of writing an introduction, then, I’m going to write three. (beginning paragraph)
